Now is a good time to start stocking up with kind thoughts, expressions of love and friendly greetings. You never know when you give a hug or a smile, how it might make their day. We need to cultivate a positive attitude toward life, and go out of our way to pay a nice complement to another person.

I’ve always heard if you want a friend, you must first show yourself friendly. I am thankful for my many true friends. Proverbs 18:24 reads: “A friend sticketh closer than a brother. A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.”
